per end with the manifold. 'llt will be observed that through this port 27 gas is constantly supplied to the passage-way 26 through the tubular stem 25, said stem being connected by means of a pipe 28 with a lighting device (not shown). An additional adjusting screw 29 for controlling the volume of gas supplied to the lighting device'is provided. This adjusting screw has at its inner end a needle valve 30 adapted to seat in the forward end of the passageway 26 as shown in Fig. 4l.

Preferably l provide means under the controlot` the valve 13' for increasing the flow of gas to the pilotlight. This means may comprise a port 31 (Figs. 5 and 6) leading from the lower side of the valve chamber Y and connected by means of an upwardly and rearwardly inclined passage 32 with the passageway 26, rearwardly of its torward-end. The valve member 13 has in this instance, in addition to the port 21, a diametrical port 33 which is adapted, in an intermediate position of the valve member, to establish a connection directly between the tubular stem 20 and the port 31. lily this means it is possible to control the'tlow of gas to the pilot light in such a way that, when it is desired to edect the lighting 0i the burners, the pilot light will flare up so as to insure that the lighting ot the burners into which the gas is turned, will take place.

' llt will be seen that l have provided a gas cockf which is especially well adapted for use 'v in connection with a concealed manifold,

and which is otherwise of a very advantageous and practical character, and while l have illustrated and described the invention in connection with a single embodiment thereof, it is to be understood that various changesin form, ment may be' made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims. l claim as my invention:

1. lin ycombination with a manifold, a gas cock comprising a body having a r v alve chamber therein, means located at the underl side of said manifold establishing communicationbetween the manifold and said cham? ber, said body having an outlet -for the gas located laterally to one side thereof and also communicating with said valve chamber, and valve means for controlling the flow ot gas from the inlet to the outlet through said chamber, said inlet'and outlet ports being arranged at right angles with respect to each other and said valve means comprising a member arranged at right angies with respect to said ports.

2. lin combination with a manifold a gas cock comprising, in combination, a body having a valve chamber andan inlet and an outlet portv opening into said chamber at substantially right angles with. respect tov construction and arrange- -4 4which said inlet port opens,

* insane spect to said ports, and a valve operating stem extending forwardly from the body.

3. ln combination with a manifold and a gas cock mountedin superposed relation, said cock comprisinga body having a pas-` sage adapted to discharge into a burner, a valve chamber parallel with and located laterally to one side of said'passa e, a port connecting said chamber with sai I passage, a port connecting the underside oi said manifold with said chamber, and a valve member operable in said chamber and adapted to control the dow of gas from the manie fold tosaid discharge passage.

4:. ln combination witha manifold and a cock mounted in superposed relation,

gas

cock comprising a body having a passaid sage adapted to discharge into a burner, a valve chamber parallel with and located laterally to one side ot said passage, a port connecting said chamber with said passage, a port connecting the underside of said manifold with said chamber, a valve member operable in said chamber and adapted to control the now of gas from the manifold to said discharge passage, and supplemental means for adjustably controlling the dow of gas through said passage,

5. A gas cock comprising, in combination, a body having two parallel stems each providing a lon 'tudinal discharge passage, said body having va valve chamber between said stems and parallel therewith, an inlet port communicating with said chber and with one of" said passages, and a valve member for controlling the flow of gas from said communicating with said chamber and with one of said passages, a valve member for controlling the flow of gas from said port to the other one of said passages, and means controlled by said valve member providin a second connection between said port and t eV first one of saidpassages. u

7; A. gas cock comprising, in combination, a horizontal discharge passage, an upright inlet port, a horizontal valve chamber'into means providing two separate connections between said passage and said chamber, and a valvemember in said chamber for controlling the dow of gas through one of said connections. 8.1i gas, cock comprising two parallel passages and an intermediate parallel chamber, an inlet port leading substantially at lll) llilll right angles into said chamber, a valve member in said chamber, and means controlled by said Valve member for establishing com'- munica'tion with either of said passages.

9. A gas cock comprising, in combination, a' body having a longitudinal passage constituting an outlet, a longitudinal chamber parallel with said passage and communicating therewith, a port at right angles to said chamber constituting an inlet, a valve mem- 10' m hand.
